Nepenthes Cameo in "Guardians of the Galaxy"

Hey all,

If you're going out to see Guardians of the Galaxy some time this weekend (which you should, it's pretty awesome), keep an eye out for when they first visit "The Collector." He has a big, foggy terrarium with several nepenthes hanging inside. You never get a close-up view, but it makes it into several shots.

During the restaurant scene of Weekend At Bernie's when Bernie is meeting with his mafia associates there is a Sarracenia leucophylla pitcher in every flower vase at each table.

I think the cut flower trade in Sarracenia leucophylla is actually harmful for wild populations, but otherwise I would agree. I did see a book (Cultivating with Carnivores) that teaches you how to grow your own and harvest the pitchers so hopefully they are doing that instead of taking from the wild.

I actually went to see the movie tonight, and I must say this one is now one of my top5 favorites.
It was pretty awesome. The commercials made it look sub par, but before watching it
I didnt know it was a marvel/stan lee movie. Can never go wrong there
